Some of you are taking one phrase out of context.
"(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations."
The "However" means that these are the only exceptions.
And "(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way. " confirms the reason for not wearing the flag in a fabric type material.
Of course, there are many violations of the Flag Code everyday, but maybe we can start with this controllable one.
